We have felt a tug to adopt for a few years and thought maybe eventually but no urgency. After having an easy pregnancy with Brayden, we had 2 miscarriages before having Emma. One night Kendre was sitting next to Brayden's bed silently praying and said yes to God about adopting. Brayden sat up in his bed said thank you God and laid back down asleep. After that Kendre talked with Scott about what happened and feeling God asking us to adopt, he prayed about it a lot and we talked through all the trepidation we both had. We both just kept coming back to whatever may scare us, we know God wants us to do this. Shortly after we officially said yes in our hearts to adoption, Scott's work announced that it was significantly expanding their adoption assistance program. After having Emma, we have a girl and a boy and could easily stop there, but we know God has good things in store for us. We have no clue how or who God will bless us with, but we're following Him.
Adoption is expensive! Between background checks, agency fees, birth mother living expenses, hospital fees, and other numerous miscellaneous fees it adds up. We are asking our friends and family to help up raise some money to help offset these costs and help us focus on spoiling our new addition to the family.
We've created this account to provide a tax deductible space for our fundraising efforts.
